“NLP is not a model of psychopathology (study of mental illness). NLP makes no diagnoses about a person’s mental health or illness. Its focus is purely on results. It proposes that people are not broken – they work perfectly to produce the results they are getting even if the results are not desirable. If a person doesn’t like the results they are getting, NLP provides tools to help them get the results they desire.”

“NLP has its roots in the field of behavioural science, developed by Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner and Edward Thorndike. It uses physiology (physical and biological states) and the unconscious mind to change thought processes and therefore behaviour.”

“Neurolinguistic Programming refers to the three most important facets in creating our human experience: neurology, language and programming.”

“This phenomenon was beautifully captured in a 1998 article for Red Herring magazine called “Why Most Economists’ Predictions Are Wrong.” It was written by Paul Krugman, himself an economist, who went on to win the Nobel Prize.* Krugman points out that too many economists’ predictions fail because they overestimate the impact of future technologies, and then he makes a few predictions of his own. Here’s one: “The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’—which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants—becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”
